The wizard tells Billy, “No matter what you do, do not climb to the top of the rock,” but of course Billy is an impetuous young boy, and he does so, thus setting off a chain of events in which Mr. He’s granted this by an all powerful wizard who spends his time at the Rock of Eternity. The story tells how young Billy Batson, an orphan on his own in the world, is granted the power to be the host of Captain Marvel, one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Shazam!: The Monster Society Of Evil! acts as a re-telling of the origin to Shazam, one of Jeff Smith’s noted favorite DC characters. And even more fortunately, it’s not just a good story. But seriously! How long do I have to wait before we get back more Shazam? It feels like it’s been ages since I read a good Shazam story.įortunately, as I pointed out, I picked up Shazam!: The Monster Society Of Evil!. I read Johns’ last arc on Justice Society Of America. And before you leave a sassy reply, yes, I know Black Adam was turned to Stone and Billy was banished from the Rock of Eternity by the wizard Shazam. I’m not trying to thumb my nose at it or anything, but I’d prefer something more serious. But where are the Shazam books? Why is it the only place I can go to read Shazam these days is Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!? It’s an all ages comic book geared towards kids. In fact, there’s only one book on my shelf that has him as a central character: Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil by Bone mastermind Jeff Smith, who is of course one of the reasons I grabbed this book up.
In my library, there are very few books where he appears as a central character vs. I haven’t actually read that much with him in it. Let me be honest with you guys (for the million billionth time): I really like the character of Shazam.
